Nicotine Shots

Nicotine shots (also known as nic shots) are 10ml bottles of high-strength nicotine designed to be mixed with shortfill e-liquid. They let you turn 0mg vape juice into 3mg or 6mg e-liquid while staying fully compliant with UK TRPR regulations. Our UK-made nicotine shots are ideal for vapers who want bigger bottles and better value without sacrificing quality or safety.

What are nicotine shots?

A nicotine shot is an unflavoured 10ml bottle of high-strength nicotine, usually 18mg or 20mg, that you add to a larger bottle of nicotine-free e-liquid. Shortfill e-liquids are filled below the top of the bottle to leave room for one or more nic shots. Once mixed, you get a larger volume of ready-to-vape e-liquid at your chosen strength.

Nicotine shots are designed to be used with:

• Shortfill e-liquids
• 0mg nicotine-free e-liquid

How to use nicotine shots step by step

Follow this simple guide to mix your shortfill e-liquid with nicotine shots:

1. Choose your shortfill bottle
   Pick your favourite flavour from our range of shortfill e-liquids. Check the bottle size and how much nicotine-free e-liquid it contains (for example, 50ml in a 60ml bottle).
2. Check the nicotine strength you want
   Most vapers use 3mg or 6mg in shortfills. Heavier former smokers may prefer 6mg, while lighter users often choose 3mg.
3. Add the correct number of nicotine shots
   Use this as a quick guide:
   • 60ml bottle with 50ml 0mg e-liquid – Add 1 x 10ml nicotine shot (18–20mg) to make 3mg.
   • 100ml bottle with 80ml 0mg e-liquid – Add 2 x 10ml nicotine shots to make 3mg.
   • 120ml bottle with 80ml 0mg e-liquid – Add 2 x 10ml nicotine shots for 3mg, or 4 x 10ml shots for 6mg.
   • 120ml bottle with 100ml 0mg e-liquid – Add 2 x 10ml nicotine shots to make 3mg.
4. Replace the cap and shake well
   Once you’ve added your nicotine shots, screw the cap back on tightly and shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30–60 seconds. This helps the nicotine distribute evenly throughout the e-liquid.
5. Let it steep (optional but recommended)
   For the best flavour, leave the bottle to sit for a few hours (or overnight) after shaking, especially for dessert or complex flavours.

Nicotine shots and UK regulations

In the UK, e-liquids containing nicotine are limited to 10ml bottles under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR). Shortfill e-liquids and nicotine shots are a compliant way to enjoy larger volumes of vape juice while staying within the law. Our nicotine shots and shortfills are fully TPD-compliant and sourced from trusted manufacturers.

Nicotine shots vs nic salts

Nicotine shots are usually freebase nicotine, which gives a more noticeable throat hit. If you prefer a smoother inhale and faster nicotine satisfaction, you may want to try our range of nicotine salt e-liquids instead. Nic salts are ideal for pod kits and lower-power devices, while shortfills and nic shots are better suited to sub-ohm vaping.

Important safety information

• Nicotine shots are not designed to be vaped on their own.
• Always keep nicotine shots out of reach of children and pets.
• Avoid skin contact and wash immediately if spilled.
• Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
